[swift-users] Will it be better if `fallthrough` works with `label` in nested `switch - case`?

[Zhao Xin]

I manage to use below work around.

let count = 1


switch count {

case 0, 1:

    let buttonId = NSAlertThirdButtonReturn

    let shouldFallthrough = { () -> Bool in

        switch buttonId {

        case NSAlertFirstButtonReturn:

            print("do something")

        case NSAlertSecondButtonReturn:

            print("do something")

        case NSAlertThirdButtonReturn:

            print("do something")

            return true

        default:

            fatalError()

        }



        return false

    }()

    if shouldFallthrough { fallthrough }

default:

    print("do extra things")

}
